SMSTS Course in Borders Site Management Safety Training Scheme Course

The SMSTS course is about making sure that you understand your roles and responsibilities as a construction site manager, managing a modern day, highly-regulated construction site.

The five day SMSTS course (Site Management Safety Training Scheme) is ideal for those who are currently a site manager, or about to be promoted to the role of site manager. The SMSTS course is also suitable to attend if you are an owner/manager of a construction related company or a manager in the oil or petro-chemical sector; as it provides an in-depth explanation of the current Construction Design Management (CDM) regulations that govern these industrial sectors.

The SMSTS course is written and accredited through Cskills who are the Sector Skills Council for the construction sector. The SMSTS course content is regularly updated by Cskills to reflect the changes in both the regulations and modern methods of construction.

The SMSTS course is widely recognised and respected throughout the construction sector and members of the influential United Kingdom Contractors Group (UKCG), whose members include Balfour Beatty, Bam Construct, Carillion plc, Costains, Galliford Try, Keir Group, Skanska and many others, will not allow site managers to work on their sites unless they have passed the SMSTS course. Both the Chartered Institute of Building and the Institute of Civil Engineers recognise the SMSTS course as valid proof of a site manager's competence.
